I am a beginner to woodwork, the main test I have with this bundle kzfaq.infoUgkxTNB_zFBSnTo_O1PqfVUwgi7ityw0JlKt is that I think that its hard to settle on a choice of the plan and outline to use as there are a large portion of them there. Nonetheless, I like the simple stride to step directions laid out there.

I'm 56 and I'm still using the desk my father made for me when I was 14. I'm sitting at it right now. I would say it's my favorite thing I own.

To me, the desktop pattern looks like you’re moving from chaos to order, which is what learning is. Nice job.

I'm a retired cabinetmaker and there is little or nothing that is made without pushing buttons, machines are the an investment needed for any joinery company if they want profit and remain in business. At one time the biggest outlay was the cost of labour, now it's materials so errors must be minimised and materials not wasted. You have skills, that can't be disputed, the balance needed includes vision of design, anyone can copy a bench or make pallet wood garden seats, the skills required when starting from an idea and ending up with a beautiful piece of furniture are far more than most people can imagine and not everyone has the skills for this kind of work.

Mechanical engineer here. The people who complain about you "just hitting a button" have no idea what goes into making the code for the CNC or the other countless steps you do. Great vid, hope to see more from you

People don't realize how much work goes into setting up the path for the CNC. Also they are just jealous of your awesome machine!

i'm not a carpenter but i can tell that the level of perfection he puts into this is absolutely 10/10

Personally, i think i would have filled up the tesselation pattern with a gold color, and seeing the final result it would have gone great with the handles on the drawers.

I love that you used threaded inserts so it can be taken apart, moved and reassembled multiple times. Beautiful piece!

"That was Easy" is what people think about CNC. They don't understand the hours of designing and trial & error that comes before you figure out how to work the machine. Great job on the design and execution, looks great!

I don’t know who’s telling you that you’re not a woodworker or you’re not talented. You’re crazy talented. You’re an artist. Beauty and art come in all forms. If you don’t do what “he” does and he doesn’t do what you do, who cares the eye is in the beholder. There’s no right or wrong. You’re not claiming to be someone else. Your you. Your art is you. And thousands love and appreciate your talent.

I find that most people who criticize another are wannabes who have poor self- esteem and can't stand the fact that you do the amazing things you do, and are humble about it in the process. I love the fact that you are secure enough in who you are, and the abilities you possess ...and the honesty to show your processes, warts, mistakes, and all, showing us how you creatively "fix" the situation! Yes indeed! People with no sense of self can't do that, and hate those who do. True is, jealousy can be really ugly. I wasn't even interested in making furniture, but watched just one of your videos and was both amazed at your ability and processes you go through, that I'm hooked. You are an incredible artist, specializing in woodworking, who is intelligent enough to use today's technology to make your ideas come alive! (I have been a multi medium artist for years, and am in awe of your work.) Seriously, there is no reason to mention those few who try to cut you down, and criticize your work! LOL! Ignore them, and let them fester! ONWARD to your next creation!

You could feel the extra love that went into this. Also, really special that you were able to in a way, pass your desk down to her. Awesome job.

I’d buy that in a heartbeat! I know any one of my daughters would love to have that! Nothing easy about what you do man. People don’t understand that things change so much and even the variables change so much that you’re constantly learning and having to educate yourself.

You have a very lucky daughter. I would cherish that for my entire life. It's priceless.

Beautiful!!! That would be a great size for an apartment. Be kind to each other. Stay safe. Love to all

Jonny, can't believe the haters out here. How many daughters in America can say their Dad "made them ah desk", I imagine the number wood be very-very-very, small. Especially one this beautiful, looks like art !! Great job Jonny !!! 👍👍👍👍👍

Well, that was easy. But in all honesty, the fact that he can just start with a bunch of wood and make THAT is just amazing.

I've been a carpenter for over 35 years. you do a fantastic job. I'm a new subscriber and I love your work. I wish the newer generation would take an interest it this kind of work. it's so gratifying to see your work when you build something from just slabs of wood. they don't know what they are missing. I still love building things and I'm 60 years old. and I love the response I get from people still to this day. keep up the great work.

An excellent job. Love the CNC work, forget the 'knockers', "jealousy is a curse". The best judgement of the piece was the brilliant step of bringing in your daughter for the final reveal, her reaction said it all. Love the tent spray booth too. Don from South Aust.

I will say, building this for your daughter and her loving is a great thing to see. But I did LOVE all the dad jokes and made me laugh a few times over. So I hit the like button and subscribed too.

BEAUTIFUL work Jonny.... And the smile your daughter gave you was all the thanks a father would ever need. Great work sir 👍👍

The final piece was stellar. Yet, because I am such a visual observer, I thought a more gradual separation of the design would be less be less abrupt, and harmonious. However, I tend to fill up my space. Do NOT listen to us!!! I love your stuff. To thine own self BE TRUE!!! You never disappoint.

Finding the one thing you don’t like about the piece immediately. The truly is both your daughter and the daughter of an artist.

That was easy...ly the prettiest desk I have ever seen! Beautiful work!

Always gonna be haters …just keep pushing those buttons and creating great content! (That was easy)

Ah man ... That's daddy's girl. 🤗 Well done dad. That's what she'll remember. How you spent the time to make those things for her. Kudos to you.

That was easy. Beautiful desk. Your daughter will treasure for years. Don't let the jealous comments bother you. CNC is just a tool that you have to have skill to use. Your designs are beautiful. Keep up the great content. I'm a new subscriber.

WOW, just WOW. Beautiful. Lots of work but her reaction was priceless. That’s an heirloom she’ll keep for ages.

Well done jonny! I’m new to the channel but Your daughter has an amazing father I bet she is really proud! I grew up without one but it really makes me happy when I see fathers like you do stuff for there children. Also your work is amazing time to watch more

Anybody saying you have no skills is just jealous of your set up and ease with which you do what you do. First video I've watched of yours and I like it!!

My neighbor though that it was relatively simple for me to run the cnc plasma table I built. I had explained some of what goes into the designs and cad/cam work. It wasn't until he saw all the details in person (while I was cutting a part and changing cut parameters) that he realized how complex it can be. I used and grew my skill to build and learn the cnc plasma table and continue to improve my skill with cutting different materials and thicknesses while trying to get better efficiency and quality. CNC capabilities improved my skill level as a fabricator and welder. A CNC machine isn't all that different from a power saw vs. hand saw or router vs. planes, rasps, and sandpaper. It is a more efficient tool that still requires skill to use and master. Some people cheat with a straight edge to rip plywood for sheeting a building, but I can usually freehand +/- 1/16" with my milwaukee cordless circular saw. Most elementary school kids probably draw better than I do and I suck at free handing a plasma torch or router. CNC allows me to use my other skills of learning, building, computer work, and attention to detail to make the machine do what my hands and brain can't. Working smarter and using technology beats working harder or not being able to build to my potential if I didn't use CNC. It also makes it faster which matters when you make part or all of your living working with your hands.

That was easy...for you! I like the idea with the "spray booth" tent, fixes the over spray problem while keeping shop dust off of what you just sprayed. My dad was a carpenter, he did a lot of inlay pattern work, but made it look so easy that I feel people underappreciated the work. He was just happy to do it for people though!

18:24 "That Whas Easy" and very nice Desk 🙂 would love to see this as a bigger table (conference table) or an dinner table with engraved dish / cutlery 🙂

most of the people that say he has no skill simply have no idea what they're talking about. firstly, apart from the cnc machine, assembling products to a great quality is a skill in itself. and is something you learn over time, ive been a cabinet maker for nearly 7 years, i have a lot to learn and improve on, but im good at what i do, through my experiences, assembling and finishing products needs a lot of practice. you can make something that has bespoke and flawless pieces look off or even ugly if not fitted right, so the fact that he can do it to a good level says something, this is an observation i have picked up from watching him build, stuff he probably doesnt even know he's doing as they have become muscle memory or second nature secondly, i recently had a chance to use a fiend's cnc router, and the fact that he said "hah go on, make something" to me after i thought it didnt look difficult, and that i just sat there looking at the screen not knowing what to do, kinda tells you there is a skill level to this. if you have to look a someone for guidance that tells you that theres something to learn.

For a button pusher your very good at it Without the machinery you would have to spend hours trying to get any were near what you make People are just jealous of what you have and what you can do I'm sat in the UK and envious of your skills and can only wish you and your family well and tell you to enjoy the fruits of your labour Well done that man Dave

"That was easy" and so beautiful ! Your daughter is lucky to have a dad so creative !!! She deserves it, of course !!! 😉😁👏

12:02 is exactly the face I did when it is finished…. This is a beauty of a workspace! Really nice work with the patterns, color and different wood! Like this really!👍🏻

I work with CnC programming everyday and let me just say, people will use one machine for 25 years and still run a program slowly the first time they use it to be sure there isn't a random "aand the drillbit is halfway through the piece before starting rotation" moment, the amount of knowledge that goes into just getting the pieces to look clean and nice is insane

Your Love flows freely! Thank You for this expression! How does it feel knowing that your daughter has the best Dad she could ever hope to have? One Love, Brother!

Such a cool desk. Your daughter is a sweetheart.

What a great way to treat a family member. Love the shows and all the new designs.

I am gonna say this for Jonny you are not just pushing buttons you are taking the time and hard work to plan it out on paper or whatever program you use then you have to clean your wood and whatever other steps you might have to do. whoever thinks all he has to do is push a button you have no room to speak because you and me are alike we both have to push a button to watch jonny builds sorry if I ranted.

Don’t let the haters get to you! You do amazing work and you have turned your craft into a very successful business! They are just jealous that they can’t do what you can do. Keep it up!

Love the humor and the piece. Us fathers will do anything for our lovely daughters :) Let the haters talk and do your thing!

Coolest project I’ve seen this year brother. Really well executed

Awesome desk for your daughter... she will treasure that forever! Don't worry about what your critics have to say. You are an extremely talented man who has the good sense, and intelligence, to understand and make use of modern technology... and you are extremely funny. Much love from Cape Town and a new subscriber.

Nice work on the desk. Black walnut and maple is by far my favorite two wood combo for things. I really like the look of the patten highlighted with white epoxy. Gets something interesting on the top, while still letting the natural beauty of the wood grain shine.

One of the most enjoyable builds I've seen. Love the special touch since it was for a family member. Adding Chloe was a magnificent touch! Wish I had this idea when my children went to college! Awesome job!

That was awesome. I mean "easy". I really like the pattern on the top and the contrast of the dark walnut and the maple. I hope she'll enjoy this desk for a long time

I have seen so many woodworkig videos in the last four months. This one is among the best. Thanks

That was easy! Great job, dad. It’s always fun to do things like this for our kids.

the “that’s what she said” joke followed by the wood looking like a “flower” for me deserves an immediate subscribe n like lmao

What an AMAZING desk! Truly one of a kind. I ABSOLUTELY LOVE the desk top inlay-- so perfect for an educational institution. All such beautiful REAL wood! Not particle board or cardboard. No wonder she loved it! BTW those who say "you're only pushing buttons" have NO IDEA how much is actually involved in getting to know those machines. WHAT A GREAT DAD! AN INSPIRATION!! WELL DONE! 👍👍👍Kudos

That is a very cool gift for your daughter, the fact dad made it will be all the more cherished. Outstanding talents and step by step directions. Thank you

Gorgeous job Jonny! Most definitely an heirloom piece. A fantastic combination of design, craftsmanship and technology. Beautifully done. Thanks for the tip on the stucco tape. And of course, with a CNC, that was easy!

That was easy! For real, I absolutely loved this video. You always do incredible work, but the feeling when you get to make something for someone you love is the best. She is going to love it!

Excellent build your daughter was very happy I bet her friends were jealous Regards Steve UK London

Dad points with an ample amount of Dad humor... an excellent vid man.

I’ll definitely buy that desk- great project well executed with your details. Your daughter is proud and that’s what really matters not the Jealous viewers

cool build, i love the spacious workshop with all the toys, definitely jealous. had to comment on the best thing i learned from this at 16:27 using a tent for a spray booth and protective shield during drying! thats brilliant!

Good Dad. hopefully she will have that LONG after you are gone.❤️

As an ex operator of a 5-axis, twin table monster of a CNC machine that had a 32 bit salvo for different tools.... that was beautiful work with that pattern... helluva program to write out

That was easy. :) Great job - beautiful design, and well executed. Best of all, Chloe loves it! Thanks for sharing.

This is seriously quality work. Great build that shows the awesome combination of handmade woodwork with the CNC. Awesome job and can’t wait to see what’s next

Turned out beautiful. That is a desk 30 years from now she will still have .

Nice desk, beautiful daughter, AWESOME Dad!

That was easy - and enjoyable- to watch, but definitely complicated to build! Gorgeous desk, bravo!

Beautiful work! I'd be happy to build a similar desk using this as inspiration. Thank you for that! "That was easy"

Also, I CANNNNNNNNNNOT overstate the versatility and usefulness of the 3260 tape. I've spent 14 years in the print and sign industry and it was our GO TO standard for just about everything modeled, pre-press, pre-production, tablework, and sentra-related adhesive requirement applications. Good on ya for plugging the 3260, it's one of the best tapes on the market and next to gaffer's tape, I never leave home without it.

i actually had a need for a desk and since im a cheep skate with a need for a large customish desk, i made my own with a woodshop class at my school for free. It is simple cherry top with white birch skirts and legs with a small epoxy strip on the back area for a diffused light to shine through with an led strip i got.

I couldn't believe my eyes when I saw the finished product. It looks so awesome! Your daughter is so lucky to have a dad that can make furniture like this! You won me over. I subscribing to your channel! Nice work!

as a woodworker whom has dabbled in the cnc world, it definitely takes a different type of skill/talent to make builds. infinitely scalable creativity since you aren't limited by the tools. With that said, it would show even more skill from a strictly woodworking perspective if you could do all of that by hand. I definitely don't hold that against you and the project looks awesome!

That was easy! Such a beautiful desk, Jonny. Chloe will treasure this gift for years to come. Brilliant! 💕

Gorgeous!!! I love the color combo and the geometric cut outs. Genius!

Don’t listen to others when they say stuff at that the true value is your product and what you learned along the way as well as knowing how much work you put into it. Good job and keep building love it dude

Man, the day I used a CNC...I understood the work that goes into it. As a mechanical engineer I already knew it, but after using CNC my respect for those who work on it increased. Also, that's only one part of this project. Imagine the skill required for the rest. I can't even imagine it.

I can’t believe that people say that you aren’t a real woodworker. Your projects are amazing. I want to take a carpentry course to learn how to create the ideas floating in my head. Thank you for the inspiration.

Wow what a skill.. Beautiful.... Cloe will use it till, say, forever and can someday hand it down to her daugther..

That one earned you the subscription. Well done, flawless executed and a nice clean style. Liked that very much. Keep going. (Edit: "That was easy", for the sake of completeness)

My fave part, was just the little plugs popping out and giving a little bounce! But this is an absolutely gorgeous piece!

the coolest dad making cool stuff for his family how lovely ♥ ♥

I love it! I'm happy that this world has such amazing skilled people like you. Good luck

I think the tesselation wouldve looked better if there was more of a gradient rather than single pieces that become a whole pattern all of a sudden. Great desk !

I only use Baltic Birch for my boomerangs. Prices are CRAZY

Everything you make is sooo pretty! And I love all the little tips you put in your videos about fit ups and different jigs you use. It’s helpful information for me to have for my work as well. Thanks 👍

If i were her dad, I would involve her in the making of the table. I know she has to study, but one hour a day is not much to ask. Imagine, long after her dad's passing, she could remember all the parts of the table she helped to put together. And she did it with her dad. What a beautiful memory that would be.

Great desk!!! Are you going to sell the files for your cnc projects? I am looking to get an Avid CNC later this year and something like this is definitely first on the list. That was easy!

That was easy! I love how you incorporated the CNC with the woodwork. I also like the pearl inlay with all your builds, I see that's your signature thing. When I make a project my signature is wood burning of some kind. I wish I had a CNC but my shop is my front porch and the living room of my one bedroom apt. I am also in a wheelchair. My goal is to one day have a small shop where I don't have to always roll out the tools to use them. Thank you for this video. I loved it.

Anyone who says you do not have talent because you use CNC, tell them to SHAD UP! There is an entire different skill set needed to setup CNC correctly. Not to mention setting up patterns, using the right BITS and speeds and all the other design. Great build quality and design!

Way to go dad!!! Creating meaningful and tangible memories, nothing better😊 Whoever is saying you “only” push buttons obviously has no idea how hard it is to code those machines and they are just jealous, you have incredible skills and eye for detail.

Love the desk Jonny. I can't even imagine how great it was to do a project like this for your daughter. Honestly I never considered you were old enough to have offspring old enough to go to college but then I realized I'm older LOL! Beautiful family. I love the Hello Fresh ad with your family... Pup included!

I'm new to your page. I love watching you and I've learn so much. I was shocked when I found out that you have a college age daughter. You have a beautiful family. Congrats! And yes, we saw the 🌺and were so relieved that you saw it too. 👍😂👍

Hahaha yeah leave the flower alone 🤣 , your skills on this are simply outstanding. I wish I had a place for me to be able to to even a small tea table.

"That was Easy" Love the Walnut top, beautiful wood. Nice desk. People who are good at what they do make things look easy. Some people then think that its easy to do, not fully understanding your skill and experience.

I enjoyed watching this AGAIN!! World-Class workmanship and your little College Girl will make you Proud. Blessings and Healthy Life y’all!!

Love the use of imperfections to accent the beauty of the wood.

You are an amazing craftsman! I love all of the kitchen cabinets in your home. She will keep that forever and she will probably hand it down to her children to use, you just created an heirloom.

For those who complain about you using the CNC, he is making things the way he loves, and making things that look amazing. Who cares how he does it? The end result looks great and will last forever.

Such a great touching video, a dad building stuff for her college student daughter. I only wish it didn't have so many 'rockeler' mentions. Makes it look like a commercial. I sincerely hope that you consider patreon over sponsors as your income stream.
